CHANGES IN VERSION 1.31.2 ------------------------- NEW FEATURES o 'BiocInstaller' is currently deprecated. All installation of Bioconductor packages will be done via `BiocManager` a CRAN package. BUG FIXES o The documentation incorrectly refered to `remotes::install` which is not an exported function of the package. This link was fixed. CHANGES IN VERSION 1.30.0 ------------------------- NEW FEATURES o biocLite() supports github repositories using the remotes package, rather than devtools. This change should be transparent to end users.
